Summary Introduction

To calculate: The amount that should be paid by Mark Ventura for the annuity.

Introduction:

Present value (PV):

The current value of an investment or an asset is termed as its PV. It is calculated by discounting the future value of the investment or asset.

Deferred Annuity:

A contract that helps an investor delay their incomes from receiving it until their desirable time for receiving the income comes, is termed as a deferred annuity. It is divided into two phases; first is the saving phase in which an investor only invests the money in the account and second is the income phase in which the investors start getting the payments. It can be fixed or variable.
